Chapter 422 A New Start (Part Two)


    After returning to her carriage, Yun Shang slowly opened the crumpled letter and took out a piece of


    paper. At the beginning, there were two words on it: Secret decree.


    Yun Shang quickly finished reading the imperial edict with a startled look. She studied it again and


    found that the handwriting was really her father''s. The seal was his imperial seal as well as his little


    seal. It couldn''t be counterfeited.


    "What happened, your highness?" Qian Yin noticed that Yun Shang went silent and her expression was


    strange, so she asked.


    Yun Shang came to her senses and answered lightly. "Nothing." But she still folded the letter carefully


    and put it into her sleeve.


    However there was still all kinds of emotions surging in her heart. It was written on that imperial edict


    that the emperor Ning was leaving the throne to Chenxi. Did her father give such a secret order to her


    to make her happy and reassured? Or is he on guard against something?


    Having just experienced a separation, and Emperor Ning''s secret order, Yun Shang''s mind was in a


    state of anxiety along the way. On the way to the imperial city of the state of Xia, she fell ill.


    Prince Jing looked at Yun Shang and was worried about her. He gave up the horse and sat in the


    carriage. He would take care of Yun Shang day and night. However, his move attracted many people''s


    attention. Emperor Xia scolded him several times. How could a man do something like that for a


    woman? This was what he said. On the other hand, Liu Yinfeng paid Yun Shang a visit several times.

    He saw her flushed face due to the high fever and an unhealthy mental state. On the other hand, he


    was also worried about her health, so he sent for a doctor back to the Jin City in a hurry. After taking


    five or six days of medicine, Yun Shang looked better than before. Although she was still not in good


    spirit, her condition was not as serious as it was several days ago. Prince Jing and Liu Yinfeng were


    both relieved at that.


    It was May 14 when they arrived at the Jin City and didn''t get off the carriage until they entered the


    Imperial pce. The empress, Su Ruji, together with all thedies and officials above the imperial


    household, waited at the end of the main road. Xia Huanyu got off the carriage and walked slowly with


    them. The empress and the officials bowed to Xia Huanyu. "Your Majesty, wee back." They all said


    with a bow.


    Xia Huanyu walked to the empress and helped her up. He said tly to her, "the empress must be tired


    after all these days when I was not here."


    The empress smiled demurely, stood up and said softly, "Your Majesty, you have overstated it." Her


    gaze swept across the people behind Xia Huanyu. Her gaze paused at Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang


    for a moment, and then looked away. "His Majesty must be very tired after days of travel. Why not go


    back to the Chang Le pce, freshen up and have a rest? I''ll prepare a royal banquet for your


    highness tonight."


    After thinking for a while, Xia Huanyu nodded his head and said, "okay." Then the emperor turned


    around, pointed at Luo Qingyan, and said to the empress, "this is the child of the empress Hua, called


    Qingyan. At that time, I had asked Liu Wenan to issue an imperial edict to appoint him as Prince Rui.


    Qingyan arrived at the Jin City for the first time, but he didn''t have his own mansion. Since the crown


    prince had died, and now the crown prince''s mansion became idle, it was changed to Prince Rui''s


    Mansion. I am going to give the mansion to Qingyan. "


    His words surprised everyone. The looks on their faces all changed. The empress looked up suddenly


    and fell her eyes on Luo Qingyan. She was silent for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty, I''m afraid


    it''s not appropriate."


    Most of the officials nodded their heads in agreement.


    Xia Huanyu waved his hand and said, "it''s okay. The crown prince has left the world anyway. His


    mansion is idle as well. The apartment in charged with the money had cried to me for moneyst


    month. Since we have no money to spare, we doesn''t need to waste it anymore. This is settled. " Then


    he turned to look at Prince Jing and said, "you and Shang''er must be exhausted after a long journey.


    And shang''er has been seriously ill. She''s not in good health now. You''d better go back and have a


    rest. Liu Wenan... Where is Liu Wenan? "


    After calling him twice, another middle-aged man dressed as an eunuch hurried to Xia Huanyu and


    said, "master, I''m here."


    Xia Huanyu frowned and said, "I told you to stay in the pce, but you didn''t evene here to greet


    me, did you? It''s the first time for Prince Rui to arrive here. He doesn''t know the way. Just take him


    back to his mansion now. "


    "Yes, your majesty." The eunuch walked up to Luo Qingyan and said with a smile, "are you prince Rui


    and Lady Rui? This way, please. "


    Yun Shang looked up at Xia Huanyu, only to find that he had already taken the empress, the officials


    and other officials into the pce. She frowned and wondered why he had arranged Prince Jing to stay


    in the former crown prince''s house since he had just arrived in the city. Obviously, he wanted to irritate


    the public. But what was his intention by doing so?


    Yun Shang feel someone was watching her, and she looked in the direction of a malicious gaze, and


    saw a young woman looking at her. She frowned and wondered, ''Who is she?''


    "Your Highness?" Yun Shang came to her senses when she heard someone calling her. She smiled at


    the eunuch, Liu Wenan, and followed Luo Qingyan. She thought to herself that the imperial pce of


    the state of Xia must be moreplex than that of the state of Ning. Since then, she had to be even


    more careful from now on.
